Two French scientists at the Pierre and Marie Curie University investigated the physics of popcorn: what causes it to jump? A leg of starch slams against the ground. And what’s behind that popping sound? The explosive release of water vapor. Here’s the study.

To get a microscopic look at the starchy bubbles that make popcorn so fluffy, check out Skunk Bear’s video.

Like seriously, why isn’t pole dancing an olympic sport? This is freakin gymnastics. This is strength and skill. This is not sexual whatsoever. Why does pole dancing have to be so stigmatised as a sexual thing that only strippers do? I have great respect for all people who can pull this off. This is art and beauty right here.

HEY FUN FACT: pole dancing is known as something strippers do because strippers invented it. And that’s okay! It’s okay to have respect for strippers and the hard work they put into what they do! Let’s stop trying to take the stripper part out of pole dancing so upperclass white girls can do it without being ~stigmatized~ because god forbid women be sexual.

Seriously, ballet was originally invented by prostitutes, and now look, it’s a fine art with no sexual stigma. Respect art in whatever form it comes.

pole dancing is beautiful.

Wormholes

Originally known as Einstein-Rosen bridges, wormholes are space-time tubes that act as shortcuts connecting distant regions in space. Their existence is still being debated among Physicists.

Stars in Their Eyes

Cataracts occur when the lens inside the eye begins to opacify, hindering the passage and focusing of light on the retina at the back of the eye. The result is reduced vision, with less clarity of color and contrast. The visible world viewed through a fog.

The most common cause is age: Proteins in the lens denature and degrade over time, pigment accumulates behind the lens. Almost 22 million Americans over the age of 40 are estimated to have cataracts to some degree. More than half of all persons age 80 and older have them. Diseases such as diabetes and hypertension can accelerate the process. Other causes are excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, genetics, cigarette smoking, some medications and eye trauma.

Most cataracts appear as a sort of yellowish or whitish cloud-like obstruction hovering in the eye, but they can assume more dramatic shapes. In the image above, courtesy of a case study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, an Australian man developed a star-shaped cataract after being punched in the eye nine months earlier.

The energy of the blow sent shock waves through the eye, disrupting and damaging the lens’ delicate structure, causing portions of the lens to become opaque. The phenomenon is not uncommon. It happens frequently to boxers and athletes struck in the eye by balls. Star cataracts can also occur after a severe electrical shock, for reasons not fully understood.

Cataract surgery to replace the lens is increasingly common. More than 2 million procedures are done in the United States each year, with rates continuing to rise. A small, population-based study in Minnesota, for example, found the incidence of cataract surgery had not only steadily increased over the past 32 years, but between 2005 and 2011, second-eye cataract surgeries within three months of the first surgery on the first eye had more than doubled the 28 percent rate recorded between 1998 and 2004.

The Australian man’s cataract was treated with a procedure called phacoemulsification, which involves using sound waves to break up the opaque part of the lens and removing the debris with a vacuum. The lens is then replaced with an artificial one.

Breast tissue provides clues to avoid effects of aging

See on Scoop.it - The future of medicine and health

Our tissue’s inability to repair itself as we grow older is thought to correlate with the decline in the presence of stem cells. So it follows that if stem cell function can be preserved beyond the norm, it could have implications for the aging process and adverse effects of tissue degeneration, such as cancer. Scientists from the University of Toronto have followed this line of thinking through research on the mammary glands of genetically modified mice, finding that development of the tissue can be manipulated to avoid the effects of aging. Led by Professor Rama Khoka, the researchers were investigating the relationship between enzymes that break down and then rebuild tissue, and the inhibitors that regulate this process. Known as metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), how these elements interact can dictate the health of the tissue, and whether it effectively regenerates or begins to deteriorate, possibly leading to cancer. The researchers worked with mice engineered to be missing at least one of the four different kinds of TIMPs, experimenting with various combinations to observe the impacts on tissue. They discovered that removing TIMP1 and TIMP3 caused the number of stem cells to actually increase and continue to function, resulting in breast tissue that remained young throughout the mice’s lives. “Normally you would see these pools of stem cells, which reach their peak at six months in the mice, start to decline,” says Khoka. “As a result, the mammary glands start to degenerate, which increases the risk of breast cancer occurring. However, we found that in these particular mice, the stem cells remained consistently high when we measured them at every stage of life.”

Sautéed pepper, goat cheese and basil pizza on cauliflower crust…RECIPE

I think relationships in general are over romanticized like at the end of the day I’m pretty sure a good relationship is just two people who know how to hang out and talk to each other not whether or not they can right all your wrongs or paint a picture of a thousand suns with the breath from your lungs or some shit

Woa! Happy April’s Fool day :)

On this April Fools’s day, we can accept (provisional) “2 = 1” but it looks like, thereafter, we also need to find an answer to this paradox . Let’s try to get an answer from this problems. Have a nice day :)
